ONE OF THE BOYS.

Richmond's Favorite Tenor in Petersburg,
The Hder-Appeal has the following in
reference to Richmond's favOrite tenor:
"Mr. Frank Cunningham is known in
Richmond as an excellent singer OF devo-
tional songs. SO far as we know, he has
not heretofore tried himself in the broader
field of compositions of the character OF
Klaerchen Won Eberstein in which the
tenor solo has been assigned to him, and
Petersburg audience, therefore, will be
the first to pass judgment upon him in
this respect"
This is in connection with the enter
tainment in that city tonight under the
auspices of the Petersburg Musical Asso-
citation. In Richmond Captain Cunning
ham is known as a good singer of any
kind of songs and as capital performer
in light opera, his Ralph RackstraD being
one of the best amateur performances
Richmond has ever witnessed.
1t can easily be predicted that he will
reflect credit both upon Richmond and
himself.

Louis James as "yirginius."
A large and fashionable audience greet
ed Louis James and Miss Marie Vain
wright at the Theatre last night. The
play was "Yirginius" This character
taxes James versatility to considerable
extent, but he met every requirement.
He has rich, musical voice, and his en-
depreciation of the character was dis
tinguished for its superior merit. Miss
Wainwright received warm welcome,
and was the recipient of several very
handsome floral tributes. Her concep-
ton Of the role of Virginia was very fine,
and her rendition will rank with the
very best that have adorned the
American stage. The entire support was
good and the performance as a whole
was eminently satisfactory. Tonight
Hamlet" Mr.. James protrayal OF
this character is one of the latest
studies for the critics, and many
pronounce it the best in the country.
Miss Wainwright is acknowledged to be
in form, dress, voice, gesture, and every
movement one of the levliest of modern
OpkNlins

The following is taken from the Nor
folk L6dgcr:
Captain John 5. WhitwOrth, of the
Norfolk Southern railroad, and who has
high rank as a mechanic, has invented a
new lever brake for railroad cars, which
is apparently destined to take well with
railroad corporations. The Captain has
lust received notice that his patent has
been allowed, and the details OF the in
yention will soon be published
John. S. Whitworth was former resi-
dent of Manchester. He was the war
captain of the Elliott Grays, and had the
reputation of being one of the bravest of
the brave. He is an educated mechanic,
and was a whole-souled man and com
rade May good luck ever attend him.

Fate of Ex-BaIIet Dancers.

Here let me remark that there is no other
class Of artists in the world that 81 soon lose
every gift and grace Of their profession as do
the ex-ballet dancers | have seen aged sing
ers whose method still lent their singing
potent charm when the voice itself had well
nigh wholly departed, and elderly actors and
actresses that preserved when reading or re
citing the grand art of their prime. But the
famous dancer ought to die, Ike the butter
flies, when the summer day OF her grace and
youth are mt an end. Some months ago
Nine Cerito was pointed out to me at a
morning c0ncert-a fat, crippled old woman,
with her face distorted by the effects of fall
from her carriage some years ago, and with
out one yestige left of the radiant sylph who

tions Of the ballet as created by Taglioni and

ITALIANS AS RAILROAD BUILDERS.
Supplanting Irishmen on Great Con-
tracts-Talk With "A Contractor.

SupplantlnS lrisnmen on NrcdI Soh-
tracts-Talk With Contractor.
Heman Clark, who is associated with John
OBrien in building a large part OF the new
aqueduct, is one Of the most extensive rail-
road contractors in the United States. He
employs men by the thousand all over the
country and has had a long experience with
laborers Of all nationalites. His attention
was called to the statement recently pub
lished that the Italians were rapidly supplant-
ing the Irish in all kinds of contract work III
New England. at is not only true in regard
to New England, but of all parts of the coun-
try he said son all the big railroad jobs
throughout the west you will find Italians in
droves In fact, think | might safely say
that at present fully 30 per cent. Of the hands
employed on this kind of work are Italians.
On some roads they are employed almost ex-
clusively
ITO be sure they are not nearly as good
workmen as the Irish, but they can be hired
at cheaper rates-so much cheaper indeed, as
to more than make up what they lack in abil-
ityl Then they are as a rule quiet and indus
trious They live cheaply and save almost all
they earn. Their one aimis to make what
they consider fortune-s500 TO Sl,OOO-and
go back to Italy, where they can live at ease
for the rest of their lives on this amount.
They never think of settling here, being much
like the Chinese in this respect They are SUI
perior TO the CeleStials however, as workmen.
The Chinese are of little use for outdoor
work. On one job we had on the Pacific
coast there were 5000 of them employed. [
discharged every one Of them. 1t didn't pay
to have them around at any wages; at least
| thought so. An Irishman looks down on
an Italian. He considers him far beneath
him, and where the modern Romans are en-
ployed in large numbers you'll see the Irish
experimenting them as section bosses"
"Do you consider the Irishman the most
efficient railroad laborerP
"The Irish and the Scandinavians are the
best. We employ great many of the latter.
They are good hands and like the Irish are
ambitious, only their ambition takes another
form. They are always on the lookout for
place to settle down and buy little farm.
When they have earned enough to do this
they go back 10 this spot and become in time
good citizens. The Italian simply works for
money and this he carries around with him
or else banks it here in New York They
come 10 this country in drOyes-brought over
of course by the padrones who bear almost
the same relation to them that the Six Com
panies did TO the Chinese. They are increas
ing every year. Except in the east they have
not yet become a factor in politics. They
are ayerse 10 strikes and hence employers
find them useful as "A sort of balance wheel il

tween themselves and their help. For this
reason their emigrationis encouraged New

Executive CIemency Extended.

The executive clemency wind was
blowing in the right direction yesterday.
Governor Lee committed the sentence of
Lewis p. Kidd from twelve months i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary to twelve
months confinement in the city jail. The
prisoner was convicted in the Hastings
Court of Manchester for unlawfully
shooting Thomas Calligan.
Manchester is fortunate Cordra, who
cut Peter Judge recently, had similar
sentence committed in like manner. I'm
less it does better it will soon be a very
good place to move away from.

All Broke Up.

Yesterday morning the horses attached
TO a hack, near the corner of Sixth and
Baker streets, became frightened and
dashed off. The driver, who was stand
ing by with the reins in his hands, was
unable to hold them. In turning the cor

with fre-plug, was turned over and
was completely wrecked. The horses
disengaged from their burthen, ran off
but was soon caught, but not before they
had injured the harness very badly. As

Rad Tobacco Brings Bad Prices.

The market has been quiet and rather

however, owing both to small receipts
and te the Indifferent quality of the leaf
brought in. This must not be considered
any very bad sign, as it is not the fault of
the market, but because the quality of the
is such as to be hardly salable
except at very low prices.
